| Chapter 5: Fit For A Queen “Just a little more, my Lady!” Elizabeth promised, as she pulled the strings that tightened the stomach area on Genevieve’s ball gown. “One more time, dear! Breath in!” Elizabeth commanded quickly.Genevieve sucked her stomach in, and held her breath. Elizabeth tugged forcefully on the lacy chords that intertwined down the back of the dress, and she quickly knotted it. She then hastily fastened a golden clasp at the top, which was shaped like a water lily. “There we are, my Lady! All fastened! Oh my, don’t you look gorgeous!” Elizabeth commented, wiping her own forehead with the back of her hand. Genevieve smiled weakly and said “Thank you,” in a constrained voice. The dress, although it was extremely beautiful, made her feel sick as it squashed her chest and stomach. She had an average body, unlike many skeletal princesses from other kingdoms. This dress definitely did not accommodate for her curvaceous figure. Genevieve took a step off the thick, embroidered carpet, and when her foot touched the cold, stone floor sent, a small shiver went up her spine. “Oh, let me get your shoes, my Lady.” Elizabeth said. As Elizabeth left the chamber, another servant woman came in, her worn hands grasping golden hair clips and a comb. “Let me fix your hair, my dear Lady.” the new servant woman insisted. Genevieve nodded as she sat on a small stool in front of the fire place. While the servant woman combed her hair, the door to her chamber opened, and someone entered the room. “Golden shoes for the princess!” they announced rowdily. Although Genevieve was not facing the door, she knew precisely who had entered. Oliver. “Well, well! Look at you!” Oliver smirked in his same, playful voice. “A right princess! Better actually. Not all princesses have such lovely faces to grace their gowns.” “Oliver Fendrel! Clear off! You shan’t speak to the Princess in such a manner!” the servant woman scolded. “I’m so sorry for his discourtesy, Lady Genevieve!” “Oh, it’s alright,” Genevieve responded with composure to the servant woman. “Just leave my shoes by the door, Oliver.” she directed. Undauntedly, after her command, Oliver sauntered over to Genevieve, and stood directly in front of her. “Well, Princess, I was ordered by Elizabeth to assist you in putting on your shoes.” He said, looking down at her with his tender, smiling eyes. Genevieve sighed. “Alright, I suppose.” Oliver grinned and knelt down. He swiftly unfastened the golden rose clasps on the sides of the heels, and slipped one on to her foot, then the other. He stood up and admired them. “Fit for a Queen.” He said proudly, taking a step back. Genevieve nodded. “Well, they best be fit for a Queen. Once I find a suitable husband at the ball tonight, I’ll be one step closer to my crown.” she explained. Oliver was quiet for a moment, as though he was still trying to comprehend what he had just heard. He then said “Well, of course.” Genevieve saw the smile slowly fading from his eyes. “I wish you the best of fortunes, Princess, in finding you, er, Prince.” He nodded gently, and quickly left the chamber. Genevieve turned to watch him leave, despite the servant woman’s efforts to keep her head still. “What a peculiar man he is.”Genevieve thought as the servant woman tugged at her thick, blond hair. She couldn’t help but picture in her mind those deep brown eyes, and how they seemed to frown at her when she mentioned the ball. But no matter, she thought to herself. She had more important things to focus on than some silly servant. Her and her Kingdom’s future depended on this night. | |||||||

| The big changes come along further in the story, which you'll probably notice quickly! But the smaller changes, for instance Oliver's character, are pretty hard to see. A lot of Oliver's dialog has changed, to reflect his personality more, for instance.
